"Great Place to Visit"
December 2024
My wife & I were encouraged by friends to visit the Butterfly Palace while in Branson. It was great! The butterflies were amazing, even as they landed on us, making for great selfies with them. Well worth the money for an experience hard to find anywhere else.

Tip: Leave your jacket in the car, as it's about 80 degree in the butterfly forest.

"Mostly gift shop."
October 2022
Our visit there was ok. From the outside it looks really big, but once you get inside you realize it is mostly a gift shop. The butterfly exhibit is nice, but pretty small. The butterflies are beautiful, but not as impressive as I envisioned. The reptile area is ok, but kind of like a pet store. The maze and bungee forest are definitely for children. Good one time, but wouldn't go back.

"Pretty Neat"
July 2022
It absolutely lived up to the hype! My kids loved the mirror maze and the reptiles. Steve and Spike were really cool to look at and my boys loved to pet them. The "movies" we looked at before going into the butterflies were not the best qualitywise but they have good information in them. There were so many people in the atrium so I was a little overwhelmed but it was still a great experience, we will definitely come back!

Tip: Very LONG walkway up to the second floor, don't look down.

"Butterfly Palace"
June 2022
Honestly purchased tickets to Butterfly Palace thinking it was cheap and would give us something else to kill time on our family vacation this summer. Once we were in the the Butterfly Palace I was shocked at how interesting it actually was and how many Butterflies actually came right up and landed on us and our feeders provided inside for a hands on up close and personal experience
